packed the church in newark yesterday for her televised funeral. human remains have been found on long island in a separate location from where others have been located and the find is renewing fears that a serial killer is to blame. ten other sets of remains have been discovered since 2000. the lastest remains were found 40 miles from where other remains were uncovered. so far it's not clear. >> espn is apologizing for a headline. the sports headline has fired a writer and also suspended an anchor for what espn can calling offensive and inappropriate comments. espn apologized saying lin's accomplishments are a great source of pride to the asian american community. in looking overseas, 20 people have died in clashes. anti-government activists bleen they're close to mounting a major assault on the city of homs. the city has been shelled every day for more than two weeks. heated rhetoric about faith and politics kicks off today's 2012 hour. the controversial comment came from gop candidate rick santorum. he accused obama of a phony theology. when asked about it later he referred to a plan to include catholic institutions to include contraception coverage in their health care plans. >> there are a lot of different stripes of christianity. you can say he's -- i'm just saying he's imposing his values on the church, and thing that's wrong. >> but it's opposing -- >> he's imposing his values. he can characterize his values any way he wants to. >> the president says he's a christian, he's a christian. >> the president's campaign strategist robert gibbs responded to rick santorum's comments today. >> i think the idea is a very real one and obviously we're looking more at what rick santorum is talking about and what he's offering. he made some comments over the past few days that i think questioned people's character and questioned people's faith and i don't believe that belongs in our politics. i don't think that american people want it from either potenti potential. >> joining us live now from washington, shannon travis. shannon, what's behind this recurring battle over religion? >> reporter: it's hard to say if this is part of a strategy for rick santorum. i mean obviously he denies, fred, that this is. but lead's say a few things that we know for sure. okay. in this republican race, each one of these four remaining candidates are trying to stake their claims. newt gingrich did a lot of it at debates, attacking the media a lot of times. that helped him out. mitt romney is obviously playing up his business experience in the private sector. rick santorum has unabashedly been the man of faith, the man of faith, the catholic of faith, right? so these kind of issues have helped him playing to talking about religion, playing to some of these red meat issues that evangelicals particularly like. it's helped propel him in national polls. so, again, he denies he's questioning president obama's christianity, but this kind of talk does carry favor with a lot of evangelicals. you'll remember just last month rick santorum got criticized, fred, for not correcting a woman who said that president obama is a muslim. we obviously know that he's a christian, but it's that kind of thing that helps bring santorum attention, whether it's part of a concerted effort from him, he says no. >> all right. let's take another turn now. another story is generating a whole lot of talk. a co-chair of romney's campaign in arizona has stepped down less than two weeks now, nine days away from the state's primary. what's the story? >> reporter: yeah, fred. this is a scandal that's moving pretty fast. okay. there's the sheriff in arizona, paul, he was in a commercial for john mccain talking about protecting the border back in 2010 when mccain was running for re-election. the sheriff is being accused, according to the newspapers, being accused by a mexican immigrant to the united states of threatening to deport this man because the man wanted to reveal the relationship between him and the sheriff. now, the sheriff came out yesterday. he denied the allegations. he said i never threatened to deport this mexican immigrant, but he acknowledged having a relationship with the man. one other thing of note, as you mentioned, he stepped down as romney's co-chair in arizona, but the sheriff is also running for congress out in arizona. he say he will not stop running. this is a personal matter. one last thing of note, romney's campaign has accepted his resignation and he was on this morning. he says he's innocent until proven guilty and should have the benefit of the doubt. >> we'll be talking with reporterrepor reporter monica alonzo. meantime let's talk about ron paul. the tallying of numbers has continued. he's picked up some more delegate votes there, but how does this change his positioning in the whole race for the white house? >> fred, it's the never-ending caucus out in maine. i've been following this story for a few weeks now. basically yesterday one county in maine held its caucuses. they postponed it from last saturday, over a week ago, because of the weather. they held these caucuses. mitt romney was declared the winner on february 11. ron paul picked up 83 votes. it doesn't change the outcome. mitt romney is still the winner, but the votes that ron paul received in yesterday's caucuses could possibly be entered into the final tally on march 10th, but, again, it won't change the outcome. in terms of delegates we have our latest estimates. romney at 127, newt gingrich at 38, rick santorum at 37 and ron paul at 27. so you'd better believe what these upcoming primaries will count. >> we've been watching these. they've been winner take all. thanks so much, shannon. rick santorum is surging in popularity. two recent polls show just how much. first in ohio a quinn a pea yak poll shows them favoring santorum with 36%. romney is at 29% and our cnorc poll shows santorum with 34% and romney just two points behind. rick santorum is also gaining ground in romney's home state of michigan. according to a detroit news poll, santorum leads romney by four points. here's santorum addressing an economic forum in detroit. >> folks, we transformed the world. life expect ansi at the time was 34 years of age. exactly what it was at the time of jesus christ. 1,800 years of kings and empe r emperors, government telling you what to do and how to do it all for your benefit. all for your benefit, of course, because we care about you and we're doing what's best because we know best. we're the proper will i bred ones, the properly educated ones, the smart people who know better for you than you know for yourself, and, therefore, we will care for you. sound familiar? well, for 1,800 years of people being cared for, guess what happened? they were used for pawns on a chess board by people who wanted power and then wielded it, not for your benefit but consistent with what they thought was best for you. america changed that. america changed that. and in 235 years life expectancy around america and the world doubled because of america, because we believed in allowing you to have the freedom and opportunity to go out and pursue your dreams, to reap the fruits of your labor, not be criticized for being successful, not be singled out for singular punishment and being called greedy, not being called the 1% and held up for scorn. look at the 1% here in eastern michigan who built eastern michigan. do the people of eastern michigan hold them up for scorn? no, they name buildings and statues and arenas and all sorts of things for the people who built the foundation of the economy of this region, and we didn't mind the fact that they made a lot of money. you know what? they made a whole lot of people a lot of money and that was a good thing. >> all right. just days before the february 28th arizona primary election, the republican contenders debate the issues. the arizona republican presidential debate on cn this wednesday, february 22nd at 8:00 eastern time. no clear front-runner in the gop race for president. the south carolina and florida primaries were turned points, and then came the three big wins for rick santorum. up next, will michigan's primary shift the race in a new direction? thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. try bayer advanced aspirin. it has microparticles so it enters the bloodstream fast and rushes relief to the site of your tough pain. it's proven to relieve pain twice as fast as before. bayer advanced aspirin. i want to fix up old houses. ♪ [ woman ] when i grow up, i want to take him on his first flight. i want to run a marathon. i'm going to own my own restaurant. when i grow up, i'm going to start a band.

[ all ] ♪ hey, hey, hey ♪ good-bye welcome back to this special hour of the cnn newsroom. we're taking time out every surchd to let you hear from the presidential contenders in their own words on the campaign trail. in arizona, mitt romney remains on top. it shows romney with 38% and santorum at 31% among likely republican voters. romney spent much of the week in his home state, the place he was born, michigan. one of the groups romney spoke to was the farmington hills chamber of commerce. >> i love the businesses of this state. i love the auto industry. i want to see it thrive and grow. i'm glad it went through a managed bankruptcy process, which i'm glad it went through. i'm delighted it's profitable. in my view, this auto industry can continue to lead the world and must continue to lead the world to keep detroit with a vibrant and prosperous future. but let me tell you. i think this is a campaign -- and i've cede sade this before about the soul of america. the question is do we believe in a vision of america more and more like europe with the government saying we're going to take from some to give to others in the name of fairness. in a setting like that, the only people who do well are the government folks who do the taking and the giving or do we believe instead that america is a land of opportunity where free individuals and free enterprises pursuing their own path create a stronger economy and lift the well-being of all? that's the choice we have in this country. i happen to believe in the vision of the founders. they said in america in the declaration of independence that the creator gave us rights. they're life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. the last phrase referring to the idea that in america we could pursue happiness as we choose. government would not guide our lives. we would guide our lives. government would not tell us where we could live, where we could work and how we'd get paid. we were free people. by virtue of that decision, america became the praise where entrepreneurs and innovators and pioneers from all over the world came. this was the land of opportunity. that's how we've outcompeted the world. i wish people in washington understood that. it is not their government hand that makes america competitive and prosperous. it is the precapacity of american people to pursue their own happiness in the way they choose, to innovate, to pioneer, to create. that's what's allowed us to lead the world. and so as i look to the changes we face, a budget out of balance, threats from around the world, don't want the government to take a larger and larger role in our life and a bigger share of the economy. i want to do what adam smith and the founders of this company recognize was the right course. give people more freedom, protect freedoms and make it easier for people to build and grow their enterprises. i love this country. i love the founding prynne pls of this country. i love the people of america. i'm absolutely convinced that our future is brighter than our past. >> all right. so let's take a look at the future of this race. joining us now live from washington, cnn senior plit can alt ron brownstein. good to see you, ron. south carolina was a turned point for newt gingrich as was florida for romney. now you have to wonder if michigan is another potential turning point. >> yeah. turning points are like street cars. wait a few minutes and another one will come by. this has been an extraordinary race right from the beginning. we've hand more people ahead in national polling than any other republican race ever, and since the mayan calendar went into effect in 1980, we never had a race where three different candidates won iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. and never have we had a campaign perform so poorly as newt gingrich and come back and have the kind of day he had where he won three contests in one day and now an opportunity in michigan. if he's able to win in michigan, think it would be another earthquake and maybe the biggest earthquake in another race. it's a state r.i.m. won four years ago where he's had time to apply the financial and organization at edge that's enabled him to recover in florida from south carolina. if santorum wins in michigan, thing it's going to be a tu mullous event. probably the most serious conversation we've had yet. >> wow. so it can't be overstated pressure then that is on mitt romney, especially given four years ago he won michigan. if he were to lose the state in which he was born, might that mean that he has to redirect his campaign or his approach if he wants to stay in the race? >> i think you're already seeing signs that he is trying to redirect this campaign. for example, u thought it was very striking to go to salt lake city to try to identify himself with the olimbs. he's trying to broaden himself from just the business guy to the executive experience argument that can contrast with the two legislators he's running against, newt gingrich and rick santorum. there's no question that a win for rick santorum in michigan would have a tremendous effect. it would provide him a tremendous tailwind. there you have states like oklahoma, tennessee, and above all ohio that have a very similar demographic profile. a large culture of conservative voters. if he get as tailwind in michigan he would be strong and the race is truly back to square one. >> wow. fascinating stuff. we'll talk again, ron. thank you very much. we'll talk again later in the hour. after the break we'll talk with ron paul as he questions rick santorum's record. also newt gingrich says he's still in it to win it but worries about losing his home state of georgia. what's his thought? jackie kushman joins me later in the hour. we'll talk again later in the the hour. matt's brakes didn't sound right... ...so i brought my car to mike at meineke... ...we inspected his brakes for free. free is good. free is very good. my money. my choice. my meineke. we continue to delve into the issues in the presidential campaign every sunday. we're spending this hour of the "cnn newsroom" letting you hear from the contenders as they spell out the plans for the future for the united states. presidential hopeful ron paul has not won a single state but says he has no plans to drop out of the race. he dismissed rick santorum as a pretend conservative on candy crowl crowley's "state of the union," and he was asked if he can beat president obama come november. >> well, i don't see how that's possible. this whole idea about the whole talking about social issues and who's going to pay for birth control pills, i'm worrying about, you know, undermining our civil liberty, the constant wars going on, the debt of, you know, $16 trillion. and they're worried about birth control pills and here he wants to, you know, control people's social and lives but at the same time he voted for planned parenthood. i don't see how anybody can get away with that inconsistency, pretending he's a conservative? his voting record, i think from my viewpoint, is an atrocious voting record in how liberal he's been and the things he's voted for in the many years he was in the senate and in the house. >> earlier on the campaign trail in washington ron paul spoke about the need for economic reform so the united states doesn't become another greece in his view. >> we're in the midst of a worldwide crisis in the financial problems that we have today and yet our government through our federal reserve currently are very much involved with the economic crisis of euro because our banks have invested in their banks and they're in on this together. banks in europe are opposed to debt from spain and greece and italy. and they're bankrupt. well, we can't allow the banks to go bankrupt, too big to fail. so they have promised our dollars will bail them out. this is wrong. this is wrong. if we allow it to happen and of course if this continues, it will eventually be rejection of a dollar. and the total rejection of currency can come rather rapidly and it's a financial crisis that's uncontrollable which can lead to a political crisis. this is why it's good to have a plan and improvise a plan where we work our way out of it. this is why i'm saying cut a trillion dollars. cut a trillion dollars and back off and shrink the says of government. we already see, you know, greece just the other day saccept a pln for the 15th time on what to do, and, of course, it was to cut back on some of the jobs, on some of the welfare. but there are riots in the street because they believe as many people in this country believe they're entitled to it. they believe entitlements are right. you have a right to your life and your liberties but you're not entitled the take your neighbor's property through the politicians. >> in recent weeks newt gingrich has slipped in the polls. next, i'll sit down with his daughter jackie cushman to find out how he's hoping to re-energize his campaign. one chance to hunt down the right insurance at the right price. the "name your price" tool, only from progressive. ready, aim, save! grrr! ooh, i forgot my phone! the "name your price" tool. now available on your phone. get a free quote today. what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally. hello ? ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. and up and down. you know you're in trouble. newt gingrich called his staff and sad am i in trouble? let me put it to you this way, newt. you have more ex-wives than delegates. >> that's david letterman poking fun at newt gingrich. he's been in georgia this weekend campaigning for super tuesday. earlier gingrich was in california talking taxes and energy. >> think we have to go through a series of tax changes. i've advocated zero capital gains and 100% expensing so people can write off gains. so our companies can compete with china and india and be successful. i also advocate we end the death tax so we do not punish families for working all their lives and being successful and i'm proposing a 15% flat tax so you can either keep the current tax code with all of its paperwork or something they've done in hong kong for years, you can actually adopt mouch you put in, 15% and it's done. so i think it's very important. the other thing i want to comment on that i'm giving a speech about later on today, i really believe that the real lesson of the middle east and the real lesson of the iranians trying to practice closing the straits of hormuz, the real thing is for u.s. to become energy-independent. if you look at north dakota, you have a clear proof of concept. in north dakota because the oil was discovered on private land, the liberals couldn't stop them from developing, and so the result in north dakota is that they have nominally 3% unemployment, but the truth is they have 16 to 18,000 jobs that are not currently filled. these are $60,000, $80,000 a year jobs. the fact is they're generating so much they've had seven straight tax cuts and a multi-billion-dollar rainy day fund, sort of the opposite of sacramento. i'm advocating that we go to an energy policy that opens up offshore development and opens up federal land and that we go to a national energy policy for our own economy. you would create several million new jobs if you had the development in the united states and we kept $500 billion a year at home that we're currently sending overseas. it also would allow us -- our goal should be to get gasoline to $2.50 or less so that working families can actually afford to go to work so that retired families can actually afford to travel. >> all right. as we said, newt gingrich has been wooing voters in georgia this weekend. he says it's crucial for him to win the state he represented for 20 years in congress, but he can't do it alone. his daughter has been a mainstay of his run for the gop presidential nomination, adding campaign adviser to her other responsibilities as wife, mother, and author. jackie cushman joining me in the studio to talk more about this. before we talk about the strategy leading into super tuesday, even you laughed at david letterman there, but i have to ask does it become awkward or uncomfortable that oftentimes your dad's marriages ended up upstaging his political position. >> of course i laugh. you have to laugh at things like that. we need someone in this nation that can govern, lead, actually accomplish thing and my dad is the only candidate in the race, including president barack obama who has balanced the budget for four years in a row. he's reformed welfare and sent two-thirds to education. in the end, what people really want is the person that can do the job, than person is my dad. >> but then given those accolades why is it he has not won more primary caucuses, and there has to be concern leading to super tuesday, is your dad newt gingrich putting all his eggs in one basket hoping it's going be ja that helps bring it home? >> i think he's looking at the seven other states as well. he does very well in conservative states and did very well in south carolina. he won that by a very big margin, 12%, and he's -- >> and the subsequent losses after south carolina, does that kind of, you know, take the air out of the room? does that kind of flatten that momentum that he felt he had after south carolina? >> well, one of the things about this race, and he was laughing about it this weekend when he was here in georgia at several events, you know, this has been an incredible roller coaster, not just for him but for all of the candidates. you had michele bachmann, rick perry, her man kanman cain. so one after another, they've gone up and down. dad's gone up and down now. this is his third race. i think he's in a good place overall. >> all right. so let's talk about how you keep that momentum. >> how does his strategy stay afloat? it takes a lot of money. sheldon adelson, las vegas casino owner once again injecting big money, $11 million this time in the super pac to keep your dad alet. how does it help if not for add elson, then where would the money be generated? how could your dad keep going? >> i can't tell you how it's run. we don't coordinate with them at all. you'd have to ask someone from the super pac how they're going spend that money. i really don't know. what i can tell you is dad's worked very hard. of course, we'd like everyone to go to newt.org and help. he's talking about big solutions. how to get gas down to $2.50. when he was speaker it was $1.13. >> can we ever see that again? >> i think so. if we can drill and look at the shoring, we can get there. he talks about getting unemployment down to 4.2%, which is what he had. we can do this. america works best when america e americans are working and dad can get them working again. >> does it feel whether it's your dad or maybe the other gop candidates that they have to change their strategy on the dialogue in which to defeat president obama because the economy, it seems, can't really be that focus anymore when you see a dip in the unemployment numbers. in fact, it was your dad who kind of began this discussion about the battle for the religious right. is that what your dad, newt gingrich, wants to focus on because the economy is no longer the item the gop would win on? >> i would argue about that. when you see the budget that president obama submitted just this past week and you see a trillion dollars in debt, that is clearly still a very, very vibrant issue. we need a president who can submit a balanced budget. we need a president who cannot lower a budget by saying that doesn't kouchblt which is part of how it's going down. we need a president who says every one who wants to work needs to be encouraged to go and look so we count. if you look at the participation rate, it's down. we understand that it's not about the government handing out things. it's about encouraging people to help themselves. >> why does your dad newt gingrich figure he can beat president obama if he can't beat the gop contenders? >> the main reason is he provides a very different approach. right now president obama says he can't get things passed, can't get the budget passed. to stand against my father, newt gingrich, who was speaker, reached across the aisle, worked with president bill clinton to get a balanced budget. the only time in my lifetime that we had a balanced budget is due to my dad and president bill clinton. they worked hard on the reform. he knows how to lead. he knows how to reach across the aisle and get everyone involved. >> what are you hearing from the voters that they say -- they interpret your dad as being the guy who can reach across the aisles and be one of con selgss oer they see your dad as the one who, you know, has been crowned as kind of the guy who carries out mean politics? >> i think a lot of it is the stories you hear on the news. the reality is he reaches out. remember, he didn't -- he had a balanced budget. that's a huge deal. we would love to have a balanced budget today. that would mean i wouldn't have pass down debts to my children. that is huge for people. additionally with welfare reform, two thirds of people went back to work or back to get educated. that's important. we need our work force trained so they can get better jobs. >> jacky gingrich cushman, always good to see you. spending more time in georgia and moving on? >> absolutely. we'll be out for the debate in arizona, but i'll be in georgia a lot as well as tennessee and other places. >> thanks so much for your time. appreciate it. glad you could come in. president obama, i took his economic message out west. that's straight ahead. brad needs car insurance, but, uh, brad doesn't want to spend too much. who's brad? this is brad. ahh! well, progressive has lots of discounts for a guy like brad. brad's intrigued. paid in full, safe driver, multi-car, going paperless -- all can help brad save a bunch. sign brad up. cool! jamie will ring you up. show brad the way. who's brad? oh, here we go again. discounts that everyone can use. now, that's progressive. call or click today. all right. encouraging news for the president. the latest cnn orc poll shows president obama's approval rating at 50%. this is an increase from last november when it was 44%. still 48% disapprove of the way the president is doing his job. another poll finds 55% think mitt romney has the chance of beating president obama. 18% thinks rick santorum has the best chachblnce. president obama spent the week out west. his message is education and rebuilding the country. >> i want us to have the best airports and the best roads. i want us to have the fastest broadband lines, and we can do that. it's time to take the money that we are no longer spending in iraq, use half of that to pay down our debt, use the rest to do some nation building right here at home. and we've got make sure we have a tax system that reflects everybody doing their fair share. i've talked about the buffett rule. if you make more than a million dollar as yea year, you shouldny a lower tax rate than your secretary. that's a pretty simple concept to understand. now, if like 98% of american families you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes should. go up. this is not class warfare. it has nothing to do with envy. it's simple math. if somebody like me is getting a tax break that i don't need, then two things can happen. either the deficit goes up further, our debt increases, oral tern actively, we're balancing our budget on the backs of seniors who are paying more for medicare or students who are paying more for their student loans or a veteran who really needs help or a family trying to get by. why would i ask them to sacrifice and i do nothing? >> all right. more on the race to the white house and how the contenders are trying to appeal to the non-white voters. also straight ahead, whitney houston has been laid to rest today after a private-invitation-only funeral in her hometown yesterday. ahead in the cn newsroom at 5:00 eastern, i'm talk with one of our producers who was inside the service. hello, how can i deliver world-class service for you today ? we gave people right off the street a script and had them read it. no, sorry, i can't help you with that. i'm not authorized to access that transaction. that's not in our policy. i will transfer you now. my supervisor is currently not available. would you like to hold ? that department is currently closed. have i helped you with everything you needed ? if your bank doesn't give you knowledgeable customer service 24/7, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. all right. cnn brings you politics each sunday during this hour. we're bringing you the 2012 presidential con ternlds in their own words. the number of non-whites voting has grown dramatically over the last two decades and that's a fact not lost on the presidential candidates. joining us again from washington, cnn political analyst ron brownstein. all right, ron. so the obama administration is working hard on the voter dri drives, particularly the non-whites. why is it we feel they need the most coaxing? >> as you noted, when bill clinton was first elected in 1992, only 12% of the vote was the minority. 88% was white. by the time barack obama got elected in 2008 it was 26% that was non-white. it wasn't like there was a sudden jump because of his unique status as the first african-american candidate. the obama campaign projects internally that 28% of the vote in the 2012 general election will be non-white. now, in 2008 barack obama won four-fifth, 80% of all non-white voters. if he does that again in 2012 and the share of the minority vote increases, the republicans would have to win a share of the white vote they haven't won since ronald reagan in 1994 to beat him. that put as lot of incentive to maximize that turnout but it increases the pressure on the republicans do better with the minority voters than they've done in the last few elections. >> your reporting believes that that spike will continue in this next election. however, at the same time, when it's fact that the african-americans have been hurt the most in this recession, is there a feeling that that might just depress a number of non-whites from registering to vote, to feel like there really is no point in them voting? >> and, in fact, that is clearly a threat for obama. we saw that in 2010. in the 2010 midterm election, the minority share fell off more than it exclusively does between a presidential election and the subsequent midterm. there's no question that that community has faced an extraordinary trouble in the downturn. on the other hand, you are beginning to see some improvement. the unemployment rate for african-americans and hispanics has been climbing faster than the unemployment rate for whites in the past few months and there are more than a million hispanics, more working today than a year ago. but that will clearly be a challenge for obama all the way through to ensure that those voters come out. as i said, if you're winning three out of four or four out of five you want to maximize that turnout. >> in your reporting what did you find are the techniques that obama is using in this go-round no 2012 that differs from 2008 to take advantage of that boom in registration among nop whites? >> well, i think it is very similar, in fact, to 2008. it's interesting. you know, the obama campaign shares an underlying philosophical tactile belief with the bush campaign 20064. the george bush campaign was famous for concluding that it was more cost-effective to spend a dollar to find the register and turn out someone who agreed with them than to vote than it was to persuade an independent who might swing back and forth between the parties. the obama campaign believes largely the same thing. you'll see this year a big concerted effort where they'll try to change the electorate where there are younger and minority voters. the three pillars are young people, minority voters and college-educated white, especially women. that's key for obama, especially when he's looking for a level of discontent among white working-class voters that have pretty sub stab chal. >> thanks, ron brownstein. good to see you. thanks for taking the time this jurnd up next we're become on the campaign trail with the gop presidential candidates. we're having fun this time, the comical side of the race for the white house.
